Fantastic stay!

The room was clean, a big plus! The staff were always helpful and professional, I really appreciated that. The location worked out well because everything was so close. there was ample tea and coffee in the room.
The food prices were a bit steep considering the portion sizes, I think it needs improvement.

Being just off the A1 made it really convenient. I could stop easily. I noticed it was a great spot for travellers. They can enjoy a meal or an overnight stay. The location was also perfect for attending a wedding nearby. It worked out great for me.

It was easy to find the place. My room was a good size and quite comfortable. I appreciated the nice and hot shower. Both dinner and breakfast were also very good.
There was no one to book us in on arrival. They expected us to self-serve. A staff member did eventually appear to help. The hotel presentation looked old-fashioned and a bit worn. The location next to the A1 resulted in continual road noise.
